Not-deadly comfort food in Wynwood

While comfort food's got some seriously great qualities -- reminding you of mom's home cooking, making you feel all warm inside -- it's only doing that so it can kill you. For updated comfort food that'll take a little longer to explode your heart, get to Morgans.

From a chef who teaches at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health in NYC, and has reworked classic comfort dishes via healthier ingredients and methods, Morgans sits in a 1930s family home re-worked as a resto, with dining downstairs (upstairs'll eventually be divied into three big-windowed dining rooms), a big front porch loaded with tables and potted plants, done up all modern with orb-like paper lanterns and a bar made of recycled glass -- so if times get tough, they can get like, 85 cents for it. Breakfast/brunch choices include an organic egg frittata w/ sofrito & chorizo, sauteed briefly and finished in the oven; French toast brioche with a light egg treatment, browned with just a dab of butter, and topped w/ fresh strawberries; and a breakfast wrap with three scrambled organic eggs and a mix of veggies like broccoli, peppers, carrots string beans, and arugula, all flanked by sides like a fresh fruit cup, healthy turkey bacon, or hashed spuds -- poor dog's been easing the pain with the stuff since Bud Light dropped him. Lunch includes starters like grass-fed flank steak salad (dry rubbed, marinated w/ orange and kiwi, grilled, tossed with baby arugula & basil vinaigrette), and sandwiches like pulled pork that's been rubbed, marinated and braised, while entrees include half a free range roast chicken that's been lemon- and herb-basted, a meatloaf sandwich (grass-fed ground beef w/ onions, eggs, fresh bread crumbs, milk, bacon & a tomato glaze), and pan-seared hog snapper that's been sprinkled with oregano, much like Spuds' stash, and man that dude just can't catch a break.
